The Jordaan
The most common theory on the origin of the name is as a derivation of the French word Jardin, meaning garden: most streets and canals in the Jordaan are named after trees and flowers. Another theory is that the Prinsengracht canal was once nicknamed Jordaan (the Dutch name for the river Jordan) and that the neighborhood beyond the canal came to be called this as well. Our Flagship canal tour will start and end here in the Jordaan.
Anne Frank House
The Anne Frank house at Prinsengracht 263 is where the cruise departs.

Tour guide was so knowledgeable. He was from the US but has been here a year or so. Seemed to know the area well and answered all our questions
